Pork Tri Tip Recipe

Scolari's often has their pork tri tip on sale so I'm always on the lookout for recipes!

Wouldn't you know in this month's Real Simple magazine there was a 3-ingredient recipe for pork tenderloin on the BBQ?! I like cooking on the BBQ during the summer so the house doesn't heat up.

Brown Sugar-Glazed Pork

In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce a 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Season 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds) with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teasponn black pepper.

Grill over medium-high heat, turning often, until the internal temperature reaches 150* F, 20 to 25 minutes. Brush with the Worcestershire mixture during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Serves 4


We have tried this recipe and it is easy and yummy!

Pork Tenderloin Recipes

The last time the pork tri tip went on sale at Scolari's I found these recipes to use that my family enjoyed.

Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin - Link to recipe HERE
I found this recipe online and LOVE the rub and bacon!

Pork Tenderloin
3 to 4 lb. pork tenderloin
3-4 cloves of garlic
1/2 c. soy sauce

1/4-1/2 tsp. ginger
Chopped green onions for garnish
Sesame seeds for garnish

Place tenderloin in glass baking dish (or gallon-size Ziploc bag). Combine garlic, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and pour over meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight, turning a couple of times. Preheat oven to 325*. Cover meat with marinade and with lid or foil and bake about 2 hours. Remove foil last 15 minutes or so. Slice at angle. Place on serving platter and pour marinade on top. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Cooking with MEAT

I used to cringe at the thought of cooking with meat! Boneless, skinless chicken breasts were my style and even then I'd be queasy.

I recently found a post on using inexpensive cuts of meat and now I'm a changed girl. Not only does it save a lot of money but it's not too hard either! I've even come up with a solution for my uneasiness towards meat.Just kidding...kind of. I seriously do wear the gloves. Go ahead, laugh if you must-I'm used to it; my husband laughs at me every time.I bought this pork shoulder for $0.99/pound last week at Safeway and it is yummy and easy to cook when used in this recipe, complete with a how-to demo, found HERE.

I bought 15 pounds and had two crock pots going in about 30 minutes. They cooked all day long while I sat around and twiddled my thumbs. I ended up with dinner for that night, a small roast (I had to cut some off to get it in the crock pot) and nine bags of shredded pork (four seasoned and five plain).

This week (11/11-11/17) the pork butt is $0.97/pound at Save Mart. I wasn't sure if this was a similar cut to pork shoulder, but luckily I know how to Google and I read HERE that pork shoulder is indeed the same thing. Try it for yourselves!

Are you brave when it comes to meat? Do you have any tips or recipes to share? Do tell!
